how to right what i did?

Question

ok so if you read my last question i know you think i am a jerk. which i agree now. at the time i didnt know what i was doing. i just knew that I was in a spot. see the puppy of maybe 5 months had been handled bad and was skiddish against bigger guys. the vet said that we would never be allowed to take her around kids. due to the first ten people she would be fine with but for the 11 she would have a problem. so i was very troubled by it. and in our town the worst place for a dog is the dog pound. the dog pound is a place where it is supposed to be sanitary. but from former workers who couldnt take working there any more they said it was dirty. they were told to just rinse the cages instead of actualy was them which left lots of disease and dirt. infact a lot of animals that go in there need a lot of medical attention after being bought be cause of it. so i didnt want to take the puppy to the pound to end up like one of them. but i couldnt just give her to someone and lie and say she

was a fine dog and would be nice to people. just like i had been lied to. but i didnt want her because i didnt want a dog that i would have to lock up because she might bite my guest. or worry if she would bite my child. and i tried to work with her and she never seemed to catch on and she seemed more irritable with me. so i let her loose on purpose. on my way home i was so troubled about what i did. i immediatly got in my car looking for her. but i couldnt find. her. i know i did wrong and i just want to make it right. but i dont know how to do that. i am a horrible person. what should i do!

Answer 1

With a little luck she will find a home. And hopefully a better one. Check the pound every day for at least a week so she doesn't get put down. She can be taught not to bite. She was biting out of fear and that can be cured. If you don't find her, just pray she has a good home.

Don't get another animal unless you are willing to do what training is needed. There are good books out there and there is always Cesar Millan. www.cesarmillaninc.com

Answer 2

First of all, you are not a horrible person, you made a mistake. Put some food and water and maybe an old rug to lie on. Put these things just outside the door. Dogs are
very capable of finding there way home, if they have lived there a while. Keep an eye out for the dog, and if the dog
does return, put an ad in the newspaper to find it a good home. That will correct your mistake. Mistakes are part of life and we should try to learn from them and not repeat them. Hope you find the dog.
